Selectively acquiring the shared lock for the reader thread(s) and implementing processing of the reader thread(s). Selectively interrupting processing of a reader thread in response to an exclusive lock request. Restoring the reader thread state using the reader thread state recorded in the data structure and releasing the shared lock while acquiring an exclusive lock.
